TIE weather experienced last
winter in Switzerland was of a
vileness unparalleled for fifty
years, yet the number of peo-
ple w ho went to Alpine resorts
in search of health and amusement
suffered no apparent diminution. Da-
vos had its usual three thousand Eng-
lish visitors, and other favorite places
were proportionately full. The fact is
that almost everyone who has once
tried the sports practiced on snow and
Ice not only returns to them himself,
but persuades his friends to accom-
pany him.
It would be possible to enlarge the
purview of these notes by discussing
the atractlons of Norway, Sweden, the
Rlack Forest and the Austrian Tyrol.
Uut we refrain from doing so because
at present it is in Switzerland only
that adequate provision Is made for
those who wish to do something more
than ski all day and every day. There
are toboggan runs and Ice rinks out-
side the frontiers of the playground of
Europe, but they are little used, and a
sufficient number of suitable compan-
ions Is absolutely necessary for the
curler and eminently desirable for the
tobogganer or skater. Even in Switzer-
land itself ski ing is so far the dom-
inant sport t hat at some of the smaller
resorts a skater may discover that he
has the rink too much to himself, and
the keen curler find himself unable to
get a good game regularly. Leuzer-
helde, for example, was for two sea-
sons the headquarters of the Winter
Alps club, and then there was much
excellent skating and curling on the
Kurhaus rink. But when that club
decided to become a migratory body
the visitors who filled at once the pla
ces of its members, took to the snow.
Skaters and curlers became less
numerous, and less proficient Much
the same thing has happened at j
Montana, where, as at Luzerheide, the
ski slopes are of the first quality. In j
fact, if we gay ^that at most places j
where only one or two hotels are open j
in the winter ski ing has, to some ex
tent, swamped ourling and skating,
we shall be stating a general propo-
sition as true as most of Its kind.
It Is not very easy to find a satisfac-
tory basis of classification fqf the va-
rious Swiss resorts Perhaps it will
be best to arrange them according to
the special facilities which they afford
for different sports. Whatever sys-
tem be adopted, St. Moritz, Davos and
Grlndelwald must form the first class.
They resemble the golf courses %n
which championships are decided, in
bo far as they are the places where
the experts meet to compete and co-
operate with one another. Each has
Its peculiarities. St. Moritz is a long
way off, and by a considerable num-
ber of feet the highest of the three.
Some consider that these accidents of
ENGLAND GETS BEST COFFEE
All the First Grade From Java Goei
There—America Uses Much
Formosa Tea.
"America does not get the highest
grade of coffee produced In Java, nor
the best grade of tea from Formosa,"
said Horace T. Tompkins, an Ameri-
can exporter from the Island of For-
mosa.
"It Is somewhat strange that It Is
almost impossible to get good coffee
In Asia, as It would seem that Java
could supply that part of the world,
but It Is a fact that good coffee is un-
known In the Orient. One can get first
class coffee in Belgium, in France or
In England, and good coffee In the
United States, hut here we get only
the second grade of the coffee bean
In fact there Is not a great quantity
of first class coffee produced, and it
all goer to England, where the de-
mand for the finest grades of every-
thing to eat is limited, Formosa
Bends to the United States every year
*bout 18,000,000 pounds of tea. It U
position are the great advantages of
the place; others are deterred by
them from going there. Everything,
the hotels, the Cresta Run, the skat-
ing and curling Yinks, is on a magni-
ficent scale, and consequently life is
expensive. But for those who can af-
ford the expense and are sufficiently
expert at tobogganing to go down the
Cresta, or at skating to take part in
a long combined figure, or at curling
to be welcome in a rink which wastes
very few stones. St. Moritz is ideal.
WISE GIRL.
"I suppose your sister is busily pre-
paring for her wedding?"
"Yes, she is up In her room now de-
itroylng all her old letters."
Davos has of late years gone ahead
of its ancient rival in the department
of English figure skating, and may be
described as the home of that art.
The curling is less good, and th^ Ice run
is not to be seriously compared with
the Cresta. Doth places provide first-
class facilities for bobsleighing and
ski ing. Both also contain sanatoria
Ski-Running at Villars.
Arosa and Klosters. Arosa claims the
best bobsleigh run in Switzerland, and
some of the chief races for "bobs"
take place there. Klosters was the
first place where tobogganing was
practiced as a sport and toda; its run
is hardly less famous than the Cres-
ta. If rather less difficult, it is cer-
tainly longer.

CURED HER BABY OF ECZEMA
"1 can't tell In words how happy the
word 'Cuticura' sounds to me, for it
cured my baby of itching, torturing
eczema. It first came when she was
between three and four weeks old,
appearing on hor head. I used every-
thing Imaginable and had one doc-
tor's bill after another, but nothing
cured It. Then the eczema broke out
eo badly behind her ear that I really
thought her ear would come off. For
months I doctored it but to no avail.
Then It began at her nose and her
eyes were nothing but sores. I had to
keep her in a dark room for two
weeks. The doctor did no good, so I
stopped him coming.
"For about two weeks I had used
Cuticura Soap for her every day,
then I got a box of Cuticura Ointment
and began to use that. In a week
there was a marked improvement. In
all I used two cakes of Cuticura Soap
and one box of Cuticura Ointment and
my baby was cured of the sores. This
was last November; now her hair is
growing out nicely and she has not a
scar on her. I can not praise Cuti-
cura enough, I can take my child any-
where and people are amazed to see
fcer without a sore. From the time
Bhe was four weeks old until she w q
three years she was never without the
terrible eruption, but now, thanks to
Cuticura, I have a well child." (Sign-
ed) Mrs. II. E. Householder, 2004 Wil-
helm St., Baltimore, Md., May 10, 1910.
